How this wildfire map works
NASA FIRMS satellite observations are grouped into incident-level signals. Repeated, multi-satellite or stronger evidence may meet our likely-wildfire threshold; official and curated incident feeds are shown as confirmed where available.
How alerts work
Standard sensitivity alerts for likely or confirmed wildfires within your chosen radius, plus credible potential fire activity when detected very close to a monitored location.
Data and safety
Satellite observations can be delayed, obscured by cloud or caused by non-wildfire heat sources. Wildfire Alerts adds situational awareness but never replaces local emergency authorities.
